BIG EYES Gets A BIG RESPONSE

Last night we saw a preview of Tim Burton's BIG EYES, that included a Q&A with 87-year-old artist Margaret Keane, herself! The audience roared with laughter when she said that she had
actually directed the movie and Tim Burton had taken credit! The trailer
doesn't do this film justice AT ALL. And everything in the movie really
happened--even the ending scenes! Plus our own Matthew Kevin Anderson
(who plays Camera One in ODD BRODSKY) has a small role! See it when it opens December 25th!
